Hiss is not appealing to me at all, so it's not that. I absolutely loathed cassette, even before CD's came out. Most vinyl seems to be EQed just right, while CD's wildly vary...many of them being "brickwalled". But it should be mentioned that I've heard a lot of remastered vinyl that have very poor EQ as well...some of them sounding no better than CD's. And to be fair, some CD's are just plain better. I heard a Genesis Abacab German CD the other day that slaughters the vinyl...at least the pressings I've heard.
But overall I just find the mastering on many LP's superior. Supertramp Crime of the Century is a good example. To my ears there isn't one good sounding digital recording of it. The MFSL CD, that so many gush over, is the worst I've ever heard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fizbin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58734 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106560 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
